After deciding on my composition and magazine genre I decided to look at double page spreads from the magazine that holds most of my target audience's attention to look at the way they incorporate colour , text and images.

1. PLANS FOR MY DOUBLE
PAGE SPREAD
• Colour pallet
• Text (font)
• Images

3. COLOUR PALLET
 Colours have inherent meanings, which can vary depending on the country
or culture. These meanings have a direct impact on the way your visitors
perceive products especially magazines.
 In the previous examples, there is a constant use of the colours red , black
and white. The red is harsh against the black and white theme and therefore
stands out more and attracts more attention to the page.
 In my magazine . I will take in to account that the colour pallet needs to be
engaging towards my target audience and be able to stand out making the page
look more appealing.

4. TEXT (FONTS)
 On the majority of these examples, the font is formal where the text is .
 The vast majority of fonts are classified into types that separate distinguishing
characteristics of a group of fonts. Most common font types are serif, sans serif and
script fonts. Other types of fonts are characterized as dingbats or graphic fonts
 Individual fonts have the ability to convey a wide variety of meanings based on the
way they are used in the typed materials. Selecting a font which helps to express the
meaning of the document will allow you to have a greater impact on the reader.
 For my magazine I will use a serif font alike these example pages because it will
classify the formal approach to music the artists I have chosen to be part of my magazine
have. .

5. IMAGES
 All four of the example pages have one large main image that instantly makes the artist
recognisable to the audience.
 A successful shot attracts the eye for a while. Visual elements that a photographer uses in the
composition are for example lines, forms, textures, balance, symmetry, depth, colours, perspective,
scale, and lighting.
 Composition can have a dramatic effect on the resulting image and in my opinion is equally
important with the subject itself. When composing an image one should always think about what
he wants to tell with the photo.
 I will use one main image on my double page spread and use two to three smaller images that
reveal/ support more information for the reader ( e.g: CD covers or other artists )
